Container Management - Is your company's liability in them?

Tuesday, August 26, 2014: 2:10 PM-3:10 PM
Imperial 5CD (Hyatt Regency New Orleans)

Level of Course: Mid

For you seasoned veterans of the annual conference.....yes, this is the one you think it is, but with a new twist! If you're new to the conference, welcome. Take a break from the mundane and try this light-hearted but technically (although not politically) correct look at proper container management. Picking the right container is a function of DOT regulations, H&S issues, common sense, and monetary decision. It doesn't end there. True container management should also address the method by which containers are moved, how and where they are stored, appropriate PPE and loading/unloading practices.

Objectives:

1. Identify the marking components of the POPS package

2. Proper handling procedures

3. Selection of PPE including SDS issues

4. "Labeling"

5. Loading and unloading practices
